Holmes a Court is his own man. He should be commended for that. I would argue that he is self made. He probably could be sitting at home, being generally anonymous , towing the family line, mingling with Frydenburg at the Geebung Polo club and having a great life. But, he's not. Instead, he's putting his face out there. Taking all the abuse and all the lies from all the spinless RWNJs of the world . Why is he doing this ? Because he gives a damn. He thinks we aren't moving fast enough on mmcc. He thinks that the federal politicians are deliberately being obstructive and moving way to slow. So, he's got off his backside and he's put himself out there. Doesn't matter whether you agree with him or not. He is putting his views out there. He is using his influence to enable others to share their views on a public platform. He is doing the work. He is helping the conversation get started. Getting it out to the public and then letting the public decide whether they agree or not. If people choose to stay with the old boys club and vote for the same party that they have voted for over the last 50 years, then they are free to do so. However, if people become better informed because of the likes of Holmes a Court and choose to use their vote more wisely, then what's wrong with that in a democracy ? It seems only the geriatric RWNJs have a problem with free speech and critical thinking.

you could have summarised your assessment in categorising him as a narcissist, much like Rudd/Turnbull. What they do is about them, if it wasn't they wouldn't be in the picture. I've got no problem with him donating to candidates etc, but he's skirting electoral rules trying to pretend they arent a party.
